I think I'm being thrown back to the harsh reality toooo fast *whineeee* After the amazing one week break, i'm totally not in the mood for work. In addition, i was met with the many unhappy faces early in the morning. Everyone dreads Monday esp even more when we moved. But they were glad to have me back as everyone started updating me and bitching haha. Those were the only time they laughed away.
Can't bring myself to complain too much about work now. It only drags my motivation level lower. But as management gets jittery, it just annoys staff more and give us more room to complain. Well this's definately not the right channel to say too much. I doubt there's any channel anyway.
Moving on to a happier note. Updates on my trip! :) Vietnam is a place where all i do was to eat and drink coffee. And it's also a place for veg lovers haha. There's definately veg in every dish. Raw veg!! haha even I do not eat them. There's practically a cafe everywhere you turn. Shopping wise.. nothing much. Bangkok still beats them hands down heh.
Our first day was spent on an island called Vung Tau. We had to take this boat called a Hydrofoil for a one and a half hr ride over.
In the hydrofoil
Vung Tau is a very nice beach place and very serene as compared to the city. We even rented a bike to move around the small island. However, the people there can't really speak english. I even had to resort to drawing to the lobby staff. It was quite hilarious.
Walking down the peaceful street
Me on the rented bike
The food we ate on the first day only! The seafood by the roadside was simply fantastic and super cheap!! The scallops were sooo fresh and yummy. I'm drooling as I type now. They only cost 50cents for 1 scallop.
There was also a large variety of fruits there and they were cheap too. I bought some custard apples :)
Chilling in a cafe in Vung Tau
One of the attraction there is the Jesus statue
The view from the top is horrendously scary. It was so high, I got cold feet from looking down. I've no idea how i took this pic...probably with my eyes closed hah.
The beautiful beach
Back in Ho Chi Minh City, we decided to visit a restaurant called Hoa Tuc, when it started pouring suddenly. It caught us by surprised as we did not expect the place to be so posh. We were definately under dressed! I felt a bit embarrased. Nontheless, the food was fabulous. The best ever throughout our whole trip.
Also tried the highly recommended Quan an ngon (Quan means delicious in vietnamese). Think it's overated. But maybe it's the stuff i ordered as most of my initial choices were gone.
My Vietnamese rice paper roll
Der stuffing himself with a vietnamese roll that has veg in it haha
The Palace
One day trip to the Mekong Delta. It is a trip worth going. Highly recommended to all who's visiting Ho Chi Minh. We get to sit in different kinds of transports and also taste some of their local products.
Horse Ride
Tasting their local fruits and having a cup of tea
Coconut candy making process
Changing from the motor boat to a boat that is rowed by 2 people. One in the font and one at the back.
